BackThe Office of the Ombudsman Punjab successfully retrieved 2250 Kanals of state-owned land from illegal occupants. With an estimated market value exceeding Rs. 55.7 million, the recovered land belonged to various government departments.
According to details, the land had been encroached by unauthorized commercial structures. The concerned departments had made repeated efforts to remove the encroachments; however, the land was ultimately vacated following directives issued by the Ombudsman Punjab. Prior to the operation, formal demarcation of the land was carried out in accordance with legal requirements to establish clear boundaries.
The Ombudsman Punjab also directed the relevant authorities to ensure that necessary measures are put in place to prevent any future re-encroachment. Local residents and complainants acknowledged the development and appreciated the timely recovery of public land.
